I just bought a Noct-Nikkor 58mm f/1.2 for a 100$ but there is one problem...

As I was scrolling through Vinted something caught my eye. It was a Nikon D200 with a lens for 100$. I recognized the lens and bought it. I still can't believe that its the real thing...

The glass is in perfect condition and the outer appearence is not perfect but acceptable in my opinion.

The thing is that the previous owner engraved his name and some numbers on the part that extends out of the lens and the focus ring is really stiff. (Im getting it CLA'd so that will be resolved).

Do you have any ideas if it is possible to remove or make the engravings less visible? If I were to keep this lens I wouldn't bother with the process of removing them but I am going to sell it and want to get it to the best shape it can get.

Thanks.

Are theese scratches going to affect the image quality?

I want to buy the Nikkor 28mm f2.8 ai-s and this the most reasonably priced one where I live. There are many micro scratches on the front element (you can see them in the picture) and I'm worried they will be visible in the image. I will be shooting digital with this lens(Nikon D700). I need some advice on whether I should buy this lens. Thanks.
